Display cap hanger



Patented Get. 16,Y 1.9.2.3.

yThis invention vrelates to display capk li angers.

In displaying caps difficulty has been en-V countered' in exposing a` sufficient number of caps to view withoutv taking up an ex cessive amount of room. Further than this, caps are not easily positioned upon stands,l

unless separate stands are eniployedfor each Figure 2.

cap, and when the capsV are placed'upon shelves or tables, only tlieyupiierniost cap of each rpile is displayed. In addition toV this such a inode ofdisplay presents an unsightly`v`r appearance and onenot likely to appeal to a prospective purchaser. v

This invention isdesigncd to overcome the Yabove noted ditliculties and 'to provide a display cap lia-nger which will hold the cap iii anreasy and neat manner, which may be readily suspended from racks or rods, which will'permit a` large num-ber of caps to be displayed without requiring an excessive aniount of room, which can be Vmade at an extremely small cost, and which may be readily positioned within and removed from the cap. 4

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings, iii which, Y Figure 1 is a rear view of the hanger showing the cap in dotted lines. l 'l Figure 2 is a sectionalview on the line 2 2 of'Figure 1.V

Referring more particularly to the drawings, -it will be seen that the display'cap.

hanger iscoinposed of a wire frame.f This franie is formed by bending a wireto pro-1 vide ra substantially, horizontal "slightly downward slanting portion 1, curving;` such wire as indicated at 2, bendingfthe wire upwardlyto forin a re-entraiit angle or dent 3,

thereafter forming a siniilarlycurved por- Y tion 4 upon the opposite side-'of the l-fraine and a corresponding` substantially horizontal or slightly slanting portion 'corresponding 'to the portion 1. The end of the wire is looped around an intermediate portion of the upper 'sid of the frame, as indicated at .-HItDa missies Orell ,Ira

6,7to secure ysuch endinfposition. The other yend of the wire extends downwardly from this point, asindicated at 7 and is hookedr finto the deiitorr'eientrant angular portion- 3 and slightlyfkinked, as indicated at 8, Ato, lock ysuch side portion. Thereafter this end ext-ends at right angles tothe plane of the fraiiie, as indicated at 9, and thence upwardly, as indicated at 10, terininatirig in attaching'eyelet 11. kThis eyelet, of course, maybe either open or closed, and yin the forin l laitieiff shown is opened, somewhat in the nature of a hook. Y

It will be seen that the last described end ofthe wire supports both the upper and the lower side of the'looped fra1ne,`and is spaced from such looped frame'as may beseen from f l This .construction provides .2a place for the reception of the visor 12 and the adjacent portion of the cap 13. y It will be seen, therefore,ithat a display cap hanger has beeiiprovided in which a looped wire franieiconforins to the curved interior contour of the front inner portion of the cap, and in which asupport for such frame is provided and "spaced from the .from rods or bars, suoli as continuous frame having a series of parallel rods, for instance` Upon these rods, the caps may be suspended completely" around the frame and in successive rows, if desired. If desired, the eyelets of course maybe hooked upon suitablepegs, .e thereby properly and securely retaining the 'cap in display position. Other uses of the device will l readily suggest themselves toy vanyone skilled in the art.

finseveral different forms andsuch invention, therefore, is tofbe limited onlyas set forth in the appendedclaims. v y

I claim: ,I y

1. A "display cap hanger Y, comprising a closed looped wirefranie having oiie endv of v the wire secured at an intermediate point on' the upper Vsideof the frame and t-lie other` end of the wire extending Vfioin such point downwardly and hooked under the lower side of said frame and thence extending at right Although a specific form of the invention iio Y' angles` to the planeof thev frameand there? Vafter extending .upwardly and terminating right angles to the plane ofthe frame and thereafter extending upwardly and terminating in an attaching eye,rsaid lower side of the frame being bent to provide a yrie-entrant angle or dent at thepoint where said last mentioned end is hooked under such side.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my handk at Racine, in the county of Racine and'State of Wisconsin.y
